Interesting choice of shirt

Nothing wrong with the kid standing for a cause(and this isn't meant as an attack on you, just a statement). Shows Urban and Co. are looking at some good character guys who have their minds on more than just football. Not trying to make a political or social post, but I didn't see a problem with the shirt, it reminded of the tweet that Cardale sent out a few years ago and the recent police killings, and then a fan told him to just focus on football.

Interesting choice of shirt

It is absolutely not my intention to interject politics into this thread; my goal is purely to inform- the shirt is probably related to the acquittal in the Philando Castile trial. Everyone can google that and talk about it somewhere else.

 

[ShowMeBuck]

Yeah. I think I'll stick to football talk.

Yeah, I would agree with you. Just noting the unexpectedly evocative shirt. Don't normally expect something like that at a football camp

Fully agreed! Made me do a double take too for a second. We're all so used to either the recruits wearing a standard Camp tee shirt or a tee shirt supporting the school

Glad to see Tyreke at camp. The more I see of him and how much potential I think is there, the more I think he is a "can't miss" being from Ohio. Really think he is going to be big time. And to be clear, I think we do land him.

Tyreke Smith, a four-star DE and Ohio State target, wears shirt with powerful message to Buckeyes camp: Why?

 

[Powair7s]

All I am going to say about this; I hope we never have a Missouri situation at tOSU.

 

[Krenzelicious]

 

[Buckeye1]

I totally disagree with that message, but that is for another forum. Just hope this does not become a distraction for the unity of the team. I trust coach Johnson with his ability to handle any situation may arise though.

 

[OSU_Buckguy]

i hope tyreke commits to osu. i hope he continues to wear that shirt. and i hope the "shut up and dance, boy" fans continue to drown in their outrage over an opinionated athlete.

 

[Jaxbuck]

I hope we can just talk about football

I hope we can just talk about football

Tell that to Tyreke.

 

[Jaxbuck]

Tell that to Tyreke.

you mean the teenage kid?

I tend to let children be children and I play the role of the grown up
